The fundamental function of the Electronic starting control p.c.b. is that of controlling the boiler in relation to the
external needs (i.e. heating the dwelling or heating the
water for d.h.w. use) and operating in order to keep the
temperature of the hydraulic circuits constant.
This is obviously possible within the useful power and
maximum working temperature limits foreseen.
Generally, the Electronic starting control p.c.b. receives
inlet information coming from the boiler (the sensors)
or from the outside (knobs, room thermostat, etc.), processes it and consequently acts with outlet commands
on other components of the boiler (Fig. 27).
9.2
Selection and adjustment devices
On the Electronic starting control p.c.b. several selection, adjustment and protection devices are located.
(Fig. 28).
Some of these devices are directly accessible by the
user (function control, temperature adjustment potentiometers etc.) others are accessible by removing the
service panel or the control panel lid.

When the boiler functions in d.h.w. (Fig. 30), the signal

coming from the d.h.w. temperature probe is compared
with the signal given by the control panel through the
adjustment made by the user (knob
).
Checking the temperature
The Electronic starting control p.c.b. makes it possible

to separately adjust the c.h. water flow temperature and
d.h.w. outlet temperature.
The temperature of the water is converted into an electric signal by means of temperature probes.
The user, setting the desired temperature with the control panel knobs operates the variable elements (10 and
12 in Fig. 28) of the electronic control p.c.b.
If the power requested is lower than 40% of the maximum power output then control is achieved by switching ON the burner at minimum power, then switching
OFF (ON/OFF function). If the power requested is
higher, then the burner is switched ON at maximum
power and will control by modulating to 40% of the
maximum power output.
During the c.h. operation (Fig. 29), the signal coming
from the c.h. temperature probe is compared to the signal given by the control panel through the adjustment
made by the user (knob
). The result of such a comparison operates the modulation of the gas valve,
consequently changing the useful output of the boiler.
75 C
Fig. 30
Normally, the result of the comparison between these

two signals directly operates the adjustment elements
of the gas valve modulation device, adjusting the useful
output generated in order to stabilize the temperature
of the exiting water.
If during the d.h.w. mode operation, the temperature of
the primary circuit goes over 75C, the useful output is
automatically reduced so that the primary circuit cannot reach excessive temperatures.
The control sequences in
function and in
function are illustrated in detail in sections 9.11 and 9.12.

The By---pass valve A in Fig. 61 is located between the

c.h. water flow and return and its function is that of guaranteeing a minimum flow across the primary heat exchanger if the circulation across the c.h. system is completely closed.
The By---pass valve is fitted on the rear side of the diverter group.
Removal
Remove all the case panels.
Remove the diverter group as described in the

section 8.4 of this manual.

Ignition and detection electrodes
16.2
16.1
Function
Checks
Check the position of the electrode edges
Three electrodes are fitted near the front part of the

burner. The ignition sparks take place between the metallic edges of the ignition electrodes over the central
ramp of the burner during the ignition sequence.
The third electrode is the detection electrode and it detects the presence of the flame.
Fig. 63 shows the electrodes configuration on the models M90F.24S, M90F.24SR, M90F.28S, M90F.28SR.
Remove all the case panels, the sealed chamber

lid and the combustion chamber lid.
Check for the correct distance between the metallic edges of the ignition electrodes (see
Fig. 65).

Safety thermostat
17.1
Function
contact must be closed (electrical resistance zero

).
The safety thermostat A in Fig. 67 is a device that

senses the temperature of the primary circuit water
which flows in the outlet pipe of the primary heat exchanger.
If the temperature control system of the boiler fails and
the temperature of the primary circuit reaches a dangerous temperature, the safety thermostat opens the
electric circuit that supplies the on---off operators of the
gas valve.
